This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

He's only doing his job.

We've all had impossible jobs where no matter how hard we tried, nothing seemed to come out right. The only difference is that we didn't get pushed out a window when the boss didn't like the work product.

The fire at the Crimean oil Depot in Feodosia is a big one

Kyiv Independent (13 Oct):

"Ukrainian drones struck the largest Russian oil depot in the city of Feodosia in occupied Crimea overnight on Oct. 13 sparking a massive blaze, a source in Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) told the Kyiv Independent.

"Drones hit at least five tanks. A large-scale fire is recorded on the territory of the oil depot," the source said.

Videos shared on social media during the night showed a large blaze and thick black smoke rising from the depot. Residents reported that the glow from the fire was visible from various parts of the city.

The source said an electricity substation in Feodosia had also been hit, as well as another in Simferopol.

"The SBU continues to systematically reduce the enemy's military, logistical and economic capacity to wage war against Ukraine," they added.

Russian air defenses intercepted 103 drones overnight across Russian and occupied Ukrainian territories, including 40 over Crimea, Russia's Defense Ministry claimed.

The strike reportedly occurred around midnight, marking the second attack on the facility in a week — the previous one took place on Oct. 6, according to the Crimean Wind Telegram channel...

...The oil depot in Feodosia is a multifunctional facility used for the transshipment of oil and oil products between rail tankers, sea vessels, and road transport.

Located about 250 kilometers (155 miles) from Ukraine-controlled territory, it is (was) the largest oil storage facility in Crimea. It can (could) hold up to 250,000 tons of fuel, which supplies Russian forces.

Oil Tankers Jam Seas as Global Glut Builds
OilPrice.com (Oct 8th)

“- China, the world’s largest importer of crude oil, has been stockpiling it at a rate of close to 1 million barrels daily since the start of the year.

- Vortexa: 1.2 billion barrels of crude oil are currently at sea, being moved from one place to another. (the most since 2016)

- The huge amount of oil at sea suggests, ultimately, that demand for oil is falling way short of supply.”

“Xi...made a lot of enemies during his rise”

I went back to the link at my comment #20,631 and surveyed the links below the video. One name was raised by many with calls for justice for the man. Below is one of the more detailed comments which points out he was an actor. In another comment a person mentioned crying many tears for this young man, who was apparently tortured and murdered by the regime.

“Watching from Japan 🇯🇵 I’m a fan of an ancient movie actor Yu MengLong … Why he’s one to be sacrificed 😢😢😢JUSTICE TO YU MENGLONG…Keep going Ms Lei for providing news about China present situations…”

Calls for justice for others who have been mistreated and killed by the Xi government were also made, although Yu MengLong was the only one identified by name. The issue of organ harvesting abuses was also made, specifically in the context of the 3 dictators speaking of living to be 150 at their recent meeting. What a ghastly thought. Another 70 years or more of those ruling horrors from Russia, China, and North Korea!

Russians will be urged to save money on the celebration of the New Year. The reasons are food prices and strikes on refineries

In connection with the rise in food prices, caused, among other things, by the enemy's ongoing strikes on our refineries, rising prices and fuel shortages, the government wants to conduct a special information campaign. Within its framework, Russians will be urged to celebrate the New Year more modestly and save on the festive table. “Food prices always rise before the holidays, but this year's increase, unfortunately, may come as a shock to some. To prevent this from happening, we plan to encourage people to buy less food for the New Year. And if possible, give up caviar and other excesses. I hope that such a proposal will be met with understanding by the Russians,” a source in the government told us. In his opinion, food prices will continue to rise, and the fact that we cannot protect our refineries from enemy missiles and drones will play a big role in this process.

“Vladimir Vladimirovich has taken measures that should improve the situation with fuel prices. But the disappearance of the threat to Russian refineries can radically change everything. Therefore, I think we will conduct a campaign to call for savings before the New Year,” the channel's interlocutor added. This decision must be approved by the Kremlin. There, in principle, they are not against it, but they have not yet made final conclusions. “The government's idea is not bad, but it needs to be modified a little. In general, I would advise Russians to abandon excesses altogether. And, if there is free money, invest it in preparing for war - learn something, for example. This applies especially to men,” our source in the Presidential Administration said.

Numbers ticking up, Russian generals getting nervous. Make gains at any cost or visit a window

[blitz128]

Perhaps pitin can send ashes from all his cremated soldiers for new years celebrations😎

Side note, one of china’s claimed to fame is their EV car production.
First in China a car built is considered a car sold.
Second Russia has shown Chinese cars to be not up to standard.
Third, EV cars were and are a joke, and the joke has not aged well.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, October 13, 2025

The Kremlin removed some restrictions on using Russian reservists in combat, allowing the Kremlin to employ reservists in its war in Ukraine. The Russian government approved on October 13 a draft law that the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) proposed stipulating that servicemembers of the Russian mobilization reserve can perform defensive tasks during armed conflicts, counter-terrorist operations, or deployments outside Russian territory.[1] The law proposes that the Russian president can call up reservists for special training lasting up to two months. An explanatory note to the law states that the changes will allow Russia to deploy reservists during peacetime, expanding the current legislation that only allows Russia to deploy reservists during mobilization or wartime. Russian State Duma Defense Committee Chairperson Andrei Kartapolov stated on October 13 that the law will allow the Kremlin to deploy reservists outside of Russian territory, including to Ukraine's Sumy and Kharkiv oblasts.[2] ISW will review the significance of this draft law in an upcoming warning update publication.

European officials continue to note how Russia is intensifying its covert and overt attacks against Europe, supporting ISW’s assessment that Russia has entered “Phase Zero” — the informational and psychological condition setting phase — of its campaign to prepare for a possible NATO-Russia war in the future. Polish National Security Bureau Chief Sławomir Cenckiewicz told the Financial Times in an article published on October 12 that Russia is using cryptocurrency to pay actors conducting sabotage in Europe in order to prevent European intelligence services from tracking the payments.[3] Cenckiewicz stated that the Kremlin increasingly relies on “ad hoc” local agents for sabotage missions and that Poland discovered in 2023 a network of agents whom the Russian General Staff's Main Directorate (GRU) recruited and whom Russia financed “to a high extent” with cryptocurrency. Cenckiewicz stated that the Kremlin increasingly relies on “ad hoc” local agents for specific missions to minimize risk to the Kremlin. Cenckiewicz stated that the Kremlin has also leveraged cryptocurrency to circumvent Western sanctions. Cenkiewicz also stated that Poland is now in a “state of war” in the cyber domain, and FT noted that Poland has accused Russia of orchestrating a recent hacking attempt to cut off the water supplies to Gdansk.[4]

German Foreign Intelligence Service (BND) President Martin Jäger stated on October 13 that the frequency of Russian attacks on Europe is a “new level of confrontation.”[5] Jäger stated that Russia is trying to probe Europe's borders, undermine NATO, destabilize European democracies, divide societies, and intimidate the population. Jäger stated that Europe must prepare for further Russian escalation and cannot assume that Russia will not launch a conventional attack against NATO until 2029. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky compared on October 12 Russia's recent attacks against Europe to the ways in which Russian President Vladimir Putin used Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014 to gauge the West's reaction.[6] Zelensky warned that Putin is preparing the Russian population for aggression against the Baltic States and Poland. ISW continues to assess that any future ceasefire or long-term pause in combat in Ukraine would free up Russian forces for rapid redeployment to Russia's eastern border with NATO, whereby Russia may be able to pose a significant threat to NATO earlier than many European officials currently expect.[7]

The Kremlin appears to be changing tactics within its reflexive control campaign to deter the United States from providing Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles, likely due to recent reporting that the United States has been sharing intelligence to help Ukraine's long-range strike campaign against Russian energy infrastructure. US President Donald Trump stated on October 12 that he would inform Russian President Vladimir Putin that the United States would provide Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles if Russia refused to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine.[8] Russian Security Council Deputy Chairperson Dmitry Medvedev claimed on October 13 that Russia is unable to distinguish between Tomahawk missiles armed with nuclear or conventional payloads while the missiles are in flight and claimed that the United States would control Ukrainian Tomahawk launches.[9] Medvedev implied that Russia would have to respond to such a scenario and threateningly claimed that US deliveries of Tomahawks to Ukraine would “not be good for anyone.” Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov responded to a request for clarification about Medvedev’s statement, claiming that US specialists would have to participate in Ukrainian Tomahawk missile strikes and that any expert is aware of the consequences of such a decision.[10]

The Kremlin has been engaged in a campaign to deter US sales of Tomahawks to Ukraine in recent days, issuing boilerplate claims about US participation in the strikes, the threat such missile deliveries would pose to US-Russian relations, and the missiles’ inability to shift the situation on the battlefield.[11] The Kremlin's October 13 claims about the difficulties in discriminating between nuclear and conventional payloads mark an inflection in this informational campaign. The Kremlin is likely shifting its narratives following the October 12 Financial Times (FT) report about how the United States has been providing Ukraine with intelligence to facilitate Ukraine's long-range strike campaign against Russia's energy sector, including oil refineries.[12] Kremlin officials largely did not respond to the FT article, likely because the reporting undermined the narrative that the Kremlin had been repeatedly spreading about how US participation in potential Ukrainian Tomahawk strikes would allegedly risk escalation and a Russian response.

The Kremlin is reportedly preparing to manipulate voters by dismissing unpopular government officials ahead of the September 2026 State Duma elections. Russian opposition outlet Meduza reported on October 13 that sources close to the Russian Presidential Administration and a political strategist working with the Kremlin's political bloc stated that the Kremlin is considering replacing select federal subject governors ahead of the 2026 Duma elections.[13] The political strategist source noted that dismissing governors is “more effective” closer to elections, so that “people experience a temporary positive emotion” before voting. The sources stated such a Kremlin decision would aim to allay Russian citizens’ discontent with and distract from recent unpopular decisions, such as raising the value-added tax (VAT) and tightening tax regimes on small businesses. The political strategist stated that the Kremlin may also dismiss the governors to distract Russians who are “tired of the war [in Ukraine] and tired of waiting for negotiations.” Sources stated that local authorities usually cause more discontent than federal ones and that citizens place the blame on the governors for issues that most often irritate them, like issues with transport, utilities, and roads. The source noted that the Kremlin must prepare for dismissals before the 2026 elections now so that the new governors have time to understand how electoral resources work in their regions, which the source emphasized is important to ensure the Kremlin's desired election results.

Ukrainian forces recently struck Russian oil infrastructure in occupied Crimea on the night of October 12 to 13. Sources in Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) told Ukrainian outlet Suspline on October 13 that Ukrainian forces struck at least five tanks at the Feodosia Offshore Oil Terminal, a 220kV electrical substation in Feodosia, and a 330kV substation in occupied Simferopol.[14] The sources stated that the strikes started a fire at the oil terminal. Geolocated footage and NASA Fire Information for Resource Management (FIRMS) data confirm that Ukrainian forces struck the three targets in occupied Crimea.[15] Russian opposition outlet Astra reported that Ukrainian strikes damaged 11 fuel tanks at the oil terminal, including eight tanks holding diesel fuel with capacities of 5,000 to 10,000 metric tons, two tanks holding gasoline, and one empty tank.[16] Crimea occupation head Sergei Aksyonov acknowledged that Ukrainian drones struck an oil depot in occupied Feodosia overnight and caused fires.[17]

Select Russian industries are showing signs of steep decline that risk lasting damage with potentially deep socio-economic repercussions. The Financial Times (FT) reported on October 12 that sanctions, rising costs, and low prices have plunged Russia's coal industry into its worst crisis in over 30 years.[18] FT reported that data from Russia's Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) shows that Russia's coal sector had $2.8 billion in losses in the first seven months of 2025 — doubling the total of all of 2024 and a stark decline from 2023 when Russia's coal industry generated nearly $4.6 billion in profits. FT reported that the Russian coal industry directly employs more than 140,000 people and remains critical in some oblasts, both as a source of employment and funding for local budgets. FT noted that prices of thermal coal hit multiyear lows globally in 2025 — down 78 percent from 2022 highs — but that the problem has been more severe for Russia as it deals with Western sanctions and logistics bottlenecks. FT reported that the coal sector in occupied Donbas is experiencing significant issues, with Russian investors starting to return mines that the Russian state had given them after they struggled to make the mines profitable. The Russian government has designed its wartime economy to prioritize investment in Russia's domestic industrial base (DIB), which in turn is having negative effects — many of which are potentially long-term — on many civilian sectors and the Russian economy as a whole.[19]

“we (in the Kremlin) plan to encourage people to buy less food for the New Year”

…Not just for the New Year’s Eve party - for the whole year.

Venezuelan style belt tightening. Welcome back to the Soviet Union comrades. Get in line. Show me your papers.

“Russian industries are showing signs of steep decline that risk lasting damage with potentially deep socio-economic repercussions.”

Putin should have taken the deal - that was the smart play. He can’t stop himself, so he must be stopped, at the cost of bankrupting Russia, wiping out a generation’s worth of savings and investment, and likely destroying a lot of the capability to restart making the same incomes afterward.

Putin is The Doom of Russia.

The crisis arrives. New restrictions are in place, to prevent people from leaving, because the Kremlin knows they will want to, but Putin wants/needs them to go down in flames with him.

Putin is The Doom of Russians themselves. It is him or you comrades.

[blitz128]

Russian mir is amazing

Can’t distinguish between hypothetical use of tomahawks being nuclear, but Russians are already using dual use missiles.😂

[blitz128]

Calling up reservists will just accelerate the staffing issues of industry and agriculture, anything to keep from general mobilization.

Pitin did that

[blitz128]

Russia has always suffered from Dutch disease, but now that petro industry is collapsing it has turned acute and eventually fatal

[blitz128]

After destroying everything they touch from cities and villages, to industry, agriculture, and mining I am shocked that a country that can’t maintain its own is unable to rebuild what it has destroyed er ah “liberated “😎
